Julia Palafox, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Julia!

Ever felt like your life is a puzzle scattered across a table, struggling to put the pieces together? I guide individuals and families through life's challenges, helping you make sense of what feels overwhelming and find your way forward.

My focus

I work with individuals and families, including children, preteens, and teens. My specialties include anger management, anxiety, coping skills, depression, life coaching, parenting, self-esteem, spirituality, stress, child abuse or neglect, and marital or pre-marital issues.

My approach

I build a safe, trusting relationship where you can process what brought you to therapy. Using an integrative, goal-oriented approach, I focus on your strengths to help you reach a satisfying life. If faith is important to you, we can explore how to incorporate it into your treatment.

My communication style

I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on your unique needs. I listen attentively and ask questions to fully understand your perspective. We work towards your goals at a pace that feels right for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I pursued social work because I wanted to help people navigate difficult times and find their path forward. Guiding individuals and families through challenges and watching them grow has been deeply rewarding. I am committed to creating a space where everyone feels heard, valued, and supported.

My goals for you

We work towards your goals at a pace that feels right for you, guiding you towards a satisfying life. I focus on your strengths to help you navigate challenges and develop the skills you need to thrive.

Our first session

During the first session, I conduct an assessment to gather information and understand what brings you to therapy. We develop goals together to ensure you're working on areas that feel important to you.
